The other Face of the Book

2010-05-27T12:46:00.003+01:00

Another illustation for VER. The article was about Facebook users' lack of privacy. Kept the same theme from my last illustrations. [If you're fluent in Portuguese you can read the article here.]

The illustration's text reads "lack of Privacy?"

Doom and gloom for Europe's Economy

2010-05-18T15:35:00.007+01:00

A series of three illustrations made for another one of VER's articles. [If you're fluent in Portuguese you can read the article here.]

Another illustration for VER, and yet another illustration regarding Wall Street. [If you're fluent in Portuguese you can read the article here.]

Is that a tentacle I see...

Done for VER's second birthday.

North by Northwest BD

2009-06-05T04:21:00.003+01:00

So I decided to do a comic page based on the movie North by Northwest (of which I've already done an illustration about 2 months ago). This is one of my final projects for college.

The Dig

2009-04-22T23:19:00.004+01:00

This is one amazing game. The backgrounds are stunning and the soundtrack is epic. One of the most creative Lucas Arts' game ever.

Sisyphus

2009-04-13T22:57:00.002+01:00

This is Sisyphus, the vilain. Greek Mythology ftw.

Katalysis_Color study

2009-04-13T17:44:00.003+01:00

This is Katalysis, the main character of a project of mine that's under development.

North by Northwest

2009-04-06T00:58:00.002+01:00

...and here's the finished drawing.

North by Northwest (detail)

2009-03-26T20:09:00.006Z

This is an edited part of a bigger drawing I made, of a scene from one of my favorite movies, North by Northwest. It's supposed to be Cary Grant, but he turned out too bulky and a bit less tanned.

Thousand Needles

2009-03-03T17:01:00.000Z

Just some fan art of World of Warcraft.

Robot

2009-02-25T17:35:00.003Z

A robot of some sort. Did this drawing while listening to a friend playing guitar.

Kiba and Akamaru

2009-01-01T16:40:00.003Z

A sketch of Kiba and Akamaru from Naruto for my girlfriend's cousin, Leo.

There's just some things you can't balance...

2008-10-30T00:23:00.003Z

...except for this. This is a character I created back in 2006. He's a Japanese sumo-samurai-ninja warrior called Gun Nakamura.

Jimmy Page

2008-10-23T01:50:00.003+01:00

Found this really cool photo of Jimmy Page in black and white and decided to draw and color it.

Exalted and D&D Characters

2008-10-14T17:23:00.005+01:00

Here are a few drawings I colored back in 2006. The first image portraits some characters from the Exalted and D&D Universe. The second one is also from the Exalted Universe and represents a convoy crossing a snowy landscape. Lines by Raimundo Pousada in both drawings.

Orochimaru

2008-09-07T22:16:00.003+01:00

Now this is one of the coolest villains in anime. He really is one bad mother.

Fire-Man

2008-09-03T22:33:00.004+01:00

Yesterday my nephew Tiago showed me a drawing he made of a super-hero he created. "He's called Fire-Man!" he said. He later asked me to do my version of his Fire-Man. Here are both drawings. Can you figure out who did which?

Webdesign

2008-08-25T18:15:00.004+01:00

In my spare time I also design websites. The latest ones are MediArade.pt (a medical clinic) and DavidChanPT.com (a website for a stunt double).

Earthworm Jim

2008-08-04T02:28:00.002+01:00

Just a quick drawing of Jim. Groovy!

Kakashi and Naruto

2008-08-02T23:37:00.005+01:00

Since a national TV channel started broadcasting Naruto, a couple of weeks ago, I've been wanting to draw something envolving Naruto and Kakashi.

Zao - Totemic

2008-07-19T22:36:00.002+01:00

Just a sketch of something I had on my mind.

Midnightshot

2008-06-25T03:39:00.004+01:00

Besides drawing I also play bass in a band. We're called Midnightshot and we play garage rock. Here's a little sketch I made for the band's logo.

The Kick Stand

2008-05-06T05:16:00.003+01:00

This is what happens when I can't sleep. Well, not always... In fact, it only happened this time. Just a quick sketch of one of my favourite video games, Full Throttle.

LeChuck's Lunch Break

2008-05-02T05:22:00.004+01:00

This is Guybrush Threepwood's rival, the fierce and evil pirate LeChuck. Been wanting to do a sketch of him for a long time, just haven't had the opportunity. He's one of my favorite evil characters from video games.

A Mighty Pirate

2008-04-06T16:46:00.003+01:00

"I'm Guybrush Threepwood, a mighty pirate". Monkey Island is one of the best adventure games I know and since I was in a buccaneer mood, I decided to do this illustration.

Monsieur le Gâteau

2008-04-04T02:39:00.005+01:00

Felt like drawing Blacksad, one of my favourite BD characters. This drawing is dedicated to Monsieur le Gâteau, a very lazy black cat.

Stay away from the Voodoo

2008-04-01T05:14:00.004+01:00

This is a revamped version of a Haal'eshi Windwalker, a shaman beast from World of Warcraft.

You no take my mushrooms!

2008-03-26T04:28:00.008Z

So I'm back to blogging. A couple of hours ago I was playing World of Warcraft, and due to server maintenance I had to disconnect. Figured that since I had nothing better do, I would sketch a fierce midget ogre.

Smoking's bad for your health... Unless you're dead, that is...

2008-02-24T04:52:00.004Z

Suddenly I felt an urge to sketch something related to Grim Fandango. Well, here's the result: Manny Calavera being cool as always.

This is a little creature of some sort, who's also a Shaman in his tribe. Drawing done about a year ago with concept and colors by me and lines by Raimundo Pousada. It was a birthday gift to my little nephew Tiago.

Taking a break from the Empire

2008-02-18T17:48:00.006Z

This is a drawing I made about a year ago, as a birthday gift to Rui Mártires, a good friend of mine.

Zao - The Demon Tree

2008-02-18T17:21:00.004Z

This is the first drawing of a story I'm creating, called Zao. More will follow.

Off the charts

2008-02-16T22:36:00.004Z

This is a futuristic space-suited guy reading some kind of radiation levels on his palmtop, on the surface of his home planet.

Sam & Max Part II

2007-11-25T17:49:00.000Z

Guess I'm on a Sam & Max roll here. This is a drawing of some suburb place, based on the game Sam & Max.

Sam & Max Part I

2007-11-24T18:29:00.000Z

Just some little fun I had, modifying an already existing Sam & Max Wallpaper.
